Brain Is for Lovers

I remember, oh, remember when there was only one continent
Life was simple then, friends and cigarettes meant everything
I still laugh out loud when I think about the things your t-shirt said
Our whole lives unfolded between now and then
We moved up and out, but I remember when

I remember when

Somehow, the neighbors never killed us for all we put 'em through
Band practice in your room
It's a miracle we ever crawled, as sure learned to run, but
Goddamn, what a lotta fun

Livin' on cheap beer and a minimum wage
It's a shame things have to change

But it's universal, things explode and move apart
Time makes your lungs and skin, but your real friends get your heart
I'm sorry you felt so alone, but you were wrong

I was with you
I remember you

I remember you!

I say your name out loud, nobody understands
How could that be true?
You're so essential to my growing up, it's like we never parted
No me without a you

I think about you every day (I think about you every day)
You're in so many things I do and say

But it's universal, things explode and move apart
Time makes your lungs and skin, but your real friends get your heart
I shoulda called, I coulda checked, I shoulda tried
To let you know I saw the sadness in your eyes
I'm sorry you felt so alone, but you were wrong

I was with you
You were with me
I remember you

I remember you

I remember you
